We owe the Italians grazie for many great things: straight roads, chic fashion, Prosecco and Pavarotti. And, with a season of al fresco everything here, for aperitivo too.
For what is a picky bits dinner if not a very British take on the long-held Italian tradition? A nibble here; a dip there; salty, savoury morsels skewered on a toothpick to soak up drinks sipped in golden light. Delightful.
